OneDrive menu "Shared by me" - SharePoint files not showing up

Question

Hello,
&nbsp;
I noticed that files I shared from SPO with others do not show up in the "Shared by me" menu in the OneDrive WebGUI. I hope that's the correct translation as we're using German.
Please see the following screenshot:
&nbsp;

&nbsp;
So the issue is that files that I share from a SPO site collection do not show up here as I would expect. Files from SPO that were shared with me do appear&nbsp; in the other tab "Shared with me" as expected.
&nbsp;
Moreover, the text in marked with the red rectangle says:"Click on "New" to add items."
Well, there's no such button. What's it for?
&nbsp;
Thanks for your help.

My understanding is that "Shared by Me" is a query that returns the items which are shared&nbsp;explicitly by me (i.e. as the owner, and hence only in my ODfB).
Similarly, as we all know,&nbsp;"Shared with Me" is a query that returns the items which someone has shared&nbsp;explicitly with me (and hence in all the tenant).

AFAIK, Shared By Me view only shows files and folders shared from OneDrive For Business....adding&nbsp;StephenRice&nbsp;so he can confirm this

Hi all,
&nbsp;
Shared by me only shows content from your OneDrive. It does not show SPO content. Thanks!

Very strange....Shared by Me view is working fine in a tenant where I'm using Spanish as default language and also in another tenant where English is the default language. In both cases, I'm seeing the files I have shared with others

Also if they were shared from SharePoint and not between two users' OneDrives?Are you creating a sharing link for a file or using the sharing dialog? Are you doing this from the modern library UX?

Edit: Just did the test sharing a file between OneDrives and this worked but not SharePoint.
